The Certification Checklist provides a list of requirements for Motif and CDE application-level certification. For your application to be certified Motif or CDE compliant, it must behave according to these requirements. You certify your own application by comparing its behavior with that specified in the checklist.

Check each checklist item only if your application performs exactly as described for that item. If you have not implemented a specified type of behavior in any manner anywhere in your application, you may skip the items pertaining to that behavior.

The checklist uses a model keyboard mechanism to describe keys. For more information on the model keyboard and virtual mouse button mechanisms, see Appendix B and Appendix C.

By default, this checklist assumes that your application is being designed for a left-to-right language environment in an English-language locale. Some sections of the checklist may require appropriate changes for other locales. See Chapter 11 for more information.

As you compare the behavior of your application to the requirements in the checklist, refer also to the corresponding reference page in the Style Guide Reference for recommended and optional guidelines. If you do not understand a particular item, refer to the appropriate section in the Style Guide and check the glossary in the Style Guide for any terms that are unclear.
